This is Wimpy Troll. This is not his real name, just what we call him. He's really not wimpy as we understand it, either. He's just a very sensitive young troll, a dreamer. He loves to read, write short stories and poetry, and it's his aspiration to one day become a poet laureate. One of his heroes is Rabindranath Tagore. However, he happens to be born to a race whose culture do not value humanities (especially art and literature) nor do anything just for the purpose of edification. These pursuits are not seen as 'useful' by the other trolls as they don't see an immediate practical value of it, so Wimpy Troll was constantly mocked, harassed and bullied for simply being himself.

This blog is conceived as a thought experiment, a creative exchange for ideas where a hundred trolls of different forms would be envisioned and rendered. From the Wikipedia entry on the mythical being: "In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings."
